Valve Tech / Severe. Vibration at valve
« on: September 25, 2017, 10:26:36 AM »
Recently installed a CSV3B for a customer and had call backs due too vibration which is causing leaks
It has been difficult to calm and set the valve to maintain 45 PSI.
Sounds like air in the valve to me. It's on a 85 GPM Goulds submersible in a cistern which supplies approx 50 homes in a park. Pump hangs on 2" pvc with a union then a 90 to the valve
I guess the big question is will air thru the valve cause me this kind of grief?
Gauge does a lot of bouncing between 40-50 psi.
Pump seldom shuts off but I suspect leaks in the park or toilets etc.
Any thoughts. Thanks
